Do any list readers have children who learned to ride a bike on a
recumbent?
If so, how'd it go?
Thanks,

Do any list readers have children who learned to ride a bike on a
recumbent?Not bikes, but a fair number of kids learn to ride on fixie low-racer
delta recumbent trikes, aka BigWheels(TM). %^)I don't personally know any kids who learned on a recumbent,-- mine
were already riding before I got my first recumbent. However, six
year olds have test ridden my BikeE without any difficultly. Also 70
year olds...The BikeE and similar recumbents may have an easy-to-test-ride advantage
due to the relatively upright seating and low bottom bracket. The BikeE
also benefited from a very wide range of adjustability for rider leg length
and the sloping frame meant as the seat adjusted forward, it also got lower.Too bad BikeE isn't around for Bob Cardone to complain about anymore.
There was a "home-made" bike builder who posted links to pictures
of recumbent bikes he had made for kids... Check the Google archives.Jon Meinecke

Were you referring to Mark Stonich? His gallery of child-sized 'bents
is here: http://mnhpva.org/Mini_Bents/Mini.htmlBest,

Yes! He had some issues with a BikeE that soured his opinion of them.
Where he found lemons, I found lemonade.My BikeE is going on 9 years old, and though it doesn't get high mileage
usage any more, it still gets short-hop/errand usage almost weekly. Of
my three recumbents, in some ways, the BikeE is still the most "fun" to
ride. Not the fastest. Not the best cruising. Not the most efficient...
Lots
of "nots", but overall, for me, the BikeE has been very durable, usable
and user friendly.Jon Meinecke
